A delightful twist on a classic breakfast roll, combining savory sausage and creamy cheese in a flaky crescent roll.
Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
Break the sausage into small crumbles as it cooks for even browning.
Transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Cooling the sausage prevents the cheese from melting prematurely.
Mix the shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and salt into the cooled sausage.
Ensure the filling is evenly mixed for consistent flavor in each roll.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
Work on a clean, flat surface to make handling the dough easier.
Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle and roll it up.
Seal the edges of the dough to keep the filling inside during baking.
Arrange the filled rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the rolls halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast treat.
Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of coffee for a complete breakfast.
